MCC Book Club

The Book Club was delighted to host the author of ‘Ghetto Classics’, Ginanne Brownell, at their most recent meet, to present the book and to discuss the inspiration behind its publication. Ginanne was also signing copies (pictured above).

For those who missed it, copies of ‘Ghetto Classics – How a Youth Orchestra Changed a Nairobi Slum’, can be purchased from the MCC Library for Ksh 2,000/-.

The Book Club also hosted an inspirational, interactive workshop with author of “Period Matters” Farah Ahmed, during which Farah gave a fascinating presentation about researching for her book in South India, and about dispelling the shame of menstruation and what it has meant in communities globally.

The next Book Meets will be held on 18 April, in the Blue Room at 6pm, when the group will discuss ‘In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz’, by Michela Wrong and 30 May ‘The Mountains Sing’ by Nguyen Phan Que Mai.

All Members are welcome. Chairman’s

Tambuzi Rose Farm, Burguret from 12 noon

The Chairman extends a very warm invitation to all Members to get together in a glorious, up-country setting for this year’s Outreach Luncheon.

MCC Members Tim & Maggie Hobbs have very kindly offered to host this year’s event in their beautiful gardens on Tambuzi Rose Farm.

This is an opportunity for up-country Members, who find it difficult to use the Club regularly, to reacquaint themselves with the legendary hospitality of MCC, and for Town Members to reacquaint themselves with distant friends for a happy, social afternoon.

The Club is negotiating favourable rates with accommodation venues for all who may want to spend the night in Nanyuki (or make a weekend of it).

We hope to see many of you there.
